Re: Debian packages similar to mathematica or mathlab ?

Hello,

for scientific tools you can visit

http://scilinux.sourceforge.net/

As far as I know,
currently there is no free CAS as mathematica or maple.
Nevertheless, you can find a lot of tools which are powerful
in very specific field.

Personaly,
my Debian box has only one commercial software: Maple.

hth,
Jerome
